I am using FF on my macbook. Whenever I right click an image and choose "save image as" it has two options for format which are "preview" or "all files". If i choose one of these options and save the image, I am able to open the image and see it in preview but if I try to upload it to any websites such as facebook, or put it on a flashdrive to take it to my printer and print off the flashdrive, it doesn't work. The image is basically only for me to see on my computer, only using preview. Why is this and how can I change it?????

Maybe it would be easier to drag it off the page and drop it into a directory.

When you place the mouse over a picture, right click, and select Save As, you should be presented with a file menu. From here, you can select how, where, file name and format.
